We met that sterling democrat and
able lawyer, Hon. r. =. Stubbs, OF
Ouachita, on the train a few days ago.
He said that while the people Of his
parish did not approve of McEnery's
course, there would be but little oppo-
sit:on to him in his parish. lie said
that McEnery would carry but few
wards in New Orleans, but thought he
would gain in the northern part of the
Stnte.-Dfi11deD Democrat.
MIR. S,ubbs is conceded to be an
ns,u,e politician and his opinions are
worthy of every consideration. Just
as the Telegraph stated months ago
nearly every man, woman and child
in Ouachita parish is the personal
friend of Gov. McEnery, and while
many do not approve his administra-
ton, they will support him from per-
sonal considerations. We cannot agree
with Mr.. Stubs, however, tat Gov.
McEnery will gain, or is gaining
strength in North Louisiana, espec.
tally west of the Ouachiia. With New
Orleans against him, then, and Il large
portion of South Louisiana (the Mich
oils parishes) opposed to him, and the
middle hill parishes OF North Louisi-
ana in favor Of third man, we cannot
see much chance for Gov. McEnery.
MIR. Stubs undoubtedly spoke from
honest conviction aud he made out q
very damaging case against his favor
tie.

THE RETREAT FROM QUINCY.
Did Bassett Take Fright Easily-What
Sympathizer with the Miners Says.

Did Bassett Take Fright Easily-What a
Sympathizer with the Miners Saws.
The San Francisco Chronicle OF yesterday
stated that United States District Attorney
Carey on Tuesday inquired into the facts
connected with the abrupt departure of
civil engineer L. F. Bassett and Deputy
United States Marshal higgins from Quincy,
Plumas county, to which place they were
recently sent by Captain Payson, of the
United States Engineer Corps. to obtain
information relative TO hydraulic mining.
The District ATTORNEY came to the cnnclu-
sion that Bassett took fright too easily. and
that he ought to have remained until yio-
lence was actually offered or threatened in
terms, and that there was no evidence to
warrant legal proceedings against anybody
for intimidation"
A REcoRD-UNIoN reporter had a CONVEX
sation with gentleman who came down
from Quincy yesterday-a man whose SYM
pathies are with the miners, and who
knows whereof he speaks. Referring to
Mr.. Bassett and his companion he said
" They didn't come away any too soon, for
if they had remained longer they would
have been hurt. BaSsett had been up there
before inqUiring into mining matters and
though he and his companion claimed on
this occasion to be in the service of the
Government they were not generally be-
lieved, but were looked upon as SPIES

Bazaine. of France She was escorted to
supper by Senior Barron, a young gentle
man of wealth and position. He was
called from the side of the young lady by

him. Some say that Barron says he accused
him of too much familiarity with Miss Ba-

The Spanish Minister took up the quarrel,
